What to expect

UNESCO‑listed Stone Town's maze of alleys is packed with history, culture and character, and on this private tour, you'll get to soak it all in at your own pace. Your guide leads you through its winding streets, past carved doors, spice‑scented markets and lively spots shaped by African, Arab, Indian and European influences. You'll also step inside Christ Church Cathedral and the former slave house for a deeper look at Zanzibar's past.

After that, you'll have some free time to grab lunch and explore a little more. You can wander through Darajani Market, packed with fabrics, spices and fresh produce, or head to Forodhani Gardens for sea views and street‑food stalls. Then, it's a short drive to Masingini Forest, a peaceful reserve supported by the TUI Care Foundation, where a gentle walk lets you spot wildlife and learn how local conservation work protects the area's flora and wildlife.

It's a day that blends two very different sides of Zanzibar. You get the colour and energy of Stone Town, followed by the calm of the forest, giving you a relaxed way to experience both culture and nature in one trip.

Jozani Forest and home cooking with the Zanzibari Mamas private tour

If you're curious about the Zanzibar beyond the coastline, this private tour brings together two sides of island life in one memorable day. Start in Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, a lush pocket of forest filled with native plants, mangroves and rare wildlife, including the Zanzibar red colobus monkey.From the forest, head to a nearby village for a warm welcome from the Zanzibari Mamas. As you explore the community, you'll find out about local traditions and daily life before joining a cooking session centred around classic Swahili flavours. Learn how coconut is transformed into fresh milk, grind spices by hand and help prepare dishes such as coconut rice, chapati and vegetables, with fish, chicken or vegetarian options available. The day ends around the table, sharing the food you've helped prepare with your hosts. Between browsing handcrafted goods made by local women and unwinding with a cup of spiced tea or coffee, there's plenty of time for conversation and connection. It's a relaxed and rewarding way to discover Zanzibar's wildlife, culture and community spirit while directly supporting local communities.
